MH370, which had 239 people on board, vanished on March 8, 2014 off the coast of Western Australia during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, having apparently veered wildly off course.

The jet’s whereabouts have remained a mystery ever since.

And now experts say Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah carried out a series of manoeuvres to evade detection to ensure the flight disappeared in a remote location, as seen on Australian TV programme 60 Minutes.

They claim the pilot was “killing himself” and took the plane to a remote spot so it would “disappear”.

Simon Hardy, a Boeing 777 pilot and instructor, said the maneuvers of the plane indicate how detailed the pilot was in his planning.

Hardy told 60 Minutes, “As the aircraft went across Thailand and Malaysia, it runs down the border, which is wiggling underneath, meaning it’s going in and out of those two countries, which is where their jurisdictions are.”

“So both of the controllers aren’t bothered about this mysterious aircraft,” he added. “Cause it’s, ‘Oh, it’s gone.”

“It’s not in our space anymore,” he continued. “If you were commissioning me to do this operation and try and make a 777 disappear, I would do exactly the same thing.”

He then gave his assessment of the pilot’s plan and flying.

“As far as I’m concerned, it’s very accurate flying because think it did the job and we know, as a fact, that the military did not come and intercept the aircraft,” he said.

He’s not the only one that thinks that Shah was methodical and had planned his mission for a long time.

Martin Dolan, former head of the Australia Transport Safety Bureau, led a two-year search for the missing plane.

“This was planned, this was deliberate, and it was done over an extended period of time,” he said.

John Dawson, a lawyer who represented nine families from MH370 and MH17 (which was shot down over Ukraine just months later), gave his support to the assessment that the pilot had planned the mass, premeditated murder of those he was entrusted to safely fly them to their destinations.

“In MH370, you have the pilot flying between Malaysia and Beijing who turns back the aircraft,” said Dawson. “The evidence is so heavily weighted to involvement by one of the aircrew taking this aircraft down.”

“That aircraft has probably depressurized, the people died of asphyxiation, it was premeditated murder,” he continued. “It was highly planned. The bodies have never been found.”

Still, it has taken more than four years for officials to call this what it is and point the finger at the jihadi who was responsible. This was really not a mystery from the beginning.

As Pamela Geller points out:

And as I previously reported here, Zaharie Ahmad Shah was a “fanatical” supporter of Anwar Ibrahim. Ibrahim has many known ties to the global U.S Muslim Brotherhood, including helping to found theInternational Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), where he currently serves as a director, serving as a trustee for the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY) during the 1970′s and early 1980′s, and appearances at numerous Brotherhood-linked conferences. In 2011, he was a participant in the 2011 U.S.-Islamic World Forum, held in the US for the first time and which included a large number of individuals tied to the Global Muslim Brotherhood as well as their supporters.
